Ingredients

100g wild sea purslane, available from Abel & Cole
2 good glugs extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled, bashed with a rolling pin
1 tsp chilli flakes
800g large sustainable raw shell-on tiger or king prawns
Grated zest and juice 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
100ml good quality dry white wine
Fresh baguette or sourdough to serve

Method

Pull the purslane leaves from the stalks; discard the woody stalks.
Heat the oil in a wide frying pan and add the garlic, chilli and sea purslane. Fry for 1 minute, then add the prawns. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until bright pink, then add the lemon zest, juice and white wine. Turn up the heat and simmer briskly for 3 minutes. Don’t cook off all the wine, as the acidity is key to this dish.
Remove from the heat and serve straight from the pan with hunks of fresh crusty baguette or sourdough.
